I’ve received such good reviews about my homemade chicken sausage that I decided to transform it into meatballs. Spinach is the star ingredient that earned these meatballs a spot on my Tapas For a Cure menu, but I also love the fact that they are made with chicken. And the feta cheese helps keep them extremely moist.

My family grinds our own meat and we use lean chicken thighs or a combination of thighs and breast meat to help keep the meatballs tender. We mix all of the spices and dredge the meat in the spice mixture prior to grinding it. After grinding the meat, we mix in the leftover spices, chopped spinach, chopped parsley and feta cheese crumbles.

Jennifer, I have served these with toothpicks as appetizers, as spaghetti with meatballs and meatball sandwiches. There are probably other ways that I’m forgetting, too, because my family has made these a lot!! I hope that you like them!

Hi Valene, I don’t think you’d have much luck forming chicken into meatballs if it’s not ground but you could try cooking the chicken thighs in the same seasonings and then eat as is or chop/shred them to put them in a dish.

I made these tonight! Only difference, I baked them on some parchment turning them once. They are AMAZING! Delicious with a little kick. I absolutely loved them, my boyfriend was very impressed and he’s a great cook
